Quick reference

Target	Any future date, time, or both
Display	Days plus hours, minutes and seconds
Sharing	Link auto-starts the same countdown for anyone who opens it
Offline	After one successful visit, this route can reopen from the service-worker cache. Keep the tab or installed app open for sound and live state.
Browser limits	Browsers cannot guarantee sound after a tab or app is closed. Allow audio, keep it open, and use a native alarm as backup for critical timing.

Pick one of 15 finish sounds before starting. When the countdown reaches zero, the alert plays three times by default — the Repeat setting can make it a single play or ring until stopped.

Shared links include the selected target date and time in the URL.

Questions and answers

Can I share my countdown with others?

Yes. Hit "Share link" and a URL with your target date encoded as a query parameter is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens that link will see the same countdown pre-filled and running automatically.

Does the countdown keep running if I switch tabs or lock my screen?

Yes. The countdown is computed from the real system clock against your chosen target date, so it shows the correct time remaining when the browser resumes. Keep the tab open for the finish sound and notification.

Will it make a sound when it reaches zero?

Yes. Choose one of 15 alert sounds before you start. When the countdown reaches zero, the selected sound plays three times by default; the Repeat setting can make it a single play or ring until stopped.
